AGAIN A BUSY BACKGROUND

So I'm out in 20 degree weather trying to take pictures of the finished "Sanibel Birds" bag. It is sunny but NOT warm. I will get the gray form core board out and take some plain background pictures but I can resist trying for something more interesting. I have asked you guys and the general consensus is plain is better. But, when will I ever get to use this mosaic I did years ago except on this bag! Look how the colors go together!!! It's too much I know, but I had to try...

FEELING LIKE CRAP

So, I've got the cough, sniffles, achy head, fever thing that has been going around. After lying around blowing my nose and feeling bad, I decided to get up and sit at the bead table. You feel better up right and with a cup of coffee anyway. Finally finished putting the little feathers on the leather strap so all the components for the "Sanibel Island Birds" are done. Now I can turn it over to Robert and he can assemble the bag. I love this part! He is the best and most precise leather worker. Of course then there will be all the whip stitch to do for the finishing touches but I should be feeling better by then. I hope, this bug is really hanging on...
